Well, I didn’t know that this project would be the start of a long journey. I did not take any pictures of them before as I had no intentions of starting this blog.
I want to start by thanking Kate at Centsational girl blog because she is my inspiration when it comes to refinishing furniture.
I started looking into this when we started looking for two additional seatings for the dining table. We had 6 chairs but our dining table can fit 8 easily. My husband suggested Craiglist. It was my first time looking at used furniture on the net. After a short search, I found 2 chairs in similar shape to our chairs. They were brown with dark navy fabrics. My husband started laughing when I told him that I wanted to buy them.
After sanding (my husband’s job as I hate sanding,) I spray painted with “Rustoleum Heirloom White” to match my existing dining chairs. Some more sanding I matched the antique effect of my other chairs. Finally, upholstery (step-by-step guide will follow in later posts.)
The initial choice of fabric:
Then I changed my mind because I felt that I need something that is more elegant and formal
Here is a picture of my upholstered DIY chair next to the original chairs that came with the dining set.
Actually, I love my DIY chair better than the original ones. It is comfy, elegant, and cheaper.
Some of the details
The chair came out really sweet and the fabric is lovely!
So glad that I changed m ymind about the first fabric, this one is shiny and glamorous 🙂
I agree your second fabric choice is really nice! It turned out great..love the legs on the new chairs.
Just beautiful. The legs are awesome and both fabrics were great, beautiful choices. You've got an eye for decorating.
Great job!! The chairs turned out great and I agree-they look even better than the ones that you spent much more for! I'm enjoying your blog-you've got some amazing re-dos!!
